“The worst thing that can happen to
anybody is to get up every day and start
the day believing that every one of your
tomorrows will be just like yesterday.”
The Hult Prize is going on 10 years now, and there was never a better time to join this movement than today. I love this program, and I love the solutions it generates every year. Since it began, the Hult Prize has had participants from more than 1,500 universities and 121 countries, and in this year alone there were 200,000 students working in teams to come up with projects that make a difference; that’s a pretty impressive record. This is the world’s largest student movement for impact. I love the Hult Prize because it deals with what I think is the most important, and generally overlooked, question that we have to face in our complicated interdependent worlds, where so many good things and so many troubling things are happening at once - which is ‘how’. Anybody can talk about problems, and Governments, Foundations, and wealthy people can give money towards them – but people still have to figure out HOW to turn their good intentions into positive changes that move other peoples’ lives and empower them. That’s what the Hult Prize student teams seek to achieve every year and I’m grateful to all those who have, and will, participate. The 2019 Hult Prize Challenge is asking participants to focus on job creation, to counter the unbelievably high unemployment rates in so many countries around the world. Some of the poorest places on Earth have a disparity that is breathtaking. It is really important to let people out of poverty, and poverty is more bearable if at least you think you can work your way out of it. The worse thing that can happen to anybody is to have to get up every morning and start the day believing that everyone of your tomorrows will be like yesterday - and millions and millions of young people believe that today. Young people feel stuck. It is this feeling of being stuck that makes them vulnerable to resentment, and then to divisive political rhetoric and conspiracy theories like the ones we are witnessing today around the world. If you feel economically stuck and socially displaced and there is no lifeline and no option, then you begin to consider alternatives that your better angels would never entertain. I therefore believe that this challenge, to develop an idea that provides meaningful work for 10,000 young people within the next decade, is particularly important in the current global environment. It’s also important because for the first time, the Hult Prize Foundation is asking the broader community of those who support it, including people who have participated before, to join in and compound the impact by collectively creating work for a million young people around the world on every continent over the next decade - it is a worthy challenge.
Wishing you all great success,
William J. Clinton, 42nd President of the United Stated of America and Founding Chairman, Clinton Foundation

Dear AttendeesOn behalf of all of us here at the Hult Prize Foundation, congratulations! Making it this far is a BIG deal and an accomplishment that will last a life-time. However, please remember, that your work is just getting started. Every year hundreds of thousands of young people from colleges and universities around the world come together around the Hult Prize to think big, be bold and work towards solving some of humanities biggest challenges. We join hands in the hope of creating a better world for all, through the sharing of new ideas and the inspiration, community and connections that come with it.
We have spent a decade inspiring and leading young people to think differently about how business can transform lives and be used as a force for good. Our global programs are each designed to change the trajectory of students at their most critical inflection points, converting ordinary degree seekers into game-changing impact entrepreneurs.
Since being founded, the Hult Prize movement has mobilized over one million students to re-think our future, and empowered them to be the change they want to see in the world. We are humbled that our flagship challenge has grown to become a benchmark program for social entrepreneurship and that our learning initiatives continue to breed disruptive innovation on nearly 2,000 college and university campuses across 100 plus countries.
This year is a special year for us here at the Hult Prize, and for me personally, as we celebrate a decade of impact and our 10 Year Anniversary. If I have learned anything over my tenure it is truly that, “anything is possible” IF you believe that struggling together is better than prospering alone. For us, by us.
Remember to have fun, be bold and always be kind. If you get a chance, please take some time to thank our community judges, mentors, experts, advisors, university officials, your parents and everyone else who has given their time to nurture and support a generation of young people that are poised to lead a generation to change the world.
Thank you for joining us.
Ahmad Ashkar,Founder and CEO | Hult Prize Foundation
“Anything is possible IF you believe that struggling together is better than prospering alone.”
